Interface to external using XIF adapter and Middleware

Hi Team,
I have to download Customers, Prospects and Employee data from ODS and ORACLE systems into CRM. Data should flow in both ways. its 2 way connection and Nightly sync is expected but not real time. can i use XIF adapter with Middleware for this? or it should be done only using XI. i will make sure to appreciate your response by awarding points.
Thanks.

Hi Team,
Anybody extracted Data from External ( ORACLE, SQL Server) into CRM using XIF Adapter and Middleware BDOCs? Please respond if it is possible to do this way.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding the xif adapter and ascii adapter

Dear experts
I have a requirement where i have to connect the crm system to non sap systems using the xif adapter and ascii adapter could you tell me what are the configurations steps to be followed for this.
Thanks & Regards
Rao

1) Don't use the ASCII adapter
2) Use the LSMW with the XIF adapter instead
As the previous posters said, it depends on what you want to convert, which will determine how to use this. A quick example of the XIF adapter with the LSMW is located in my blog here:
/people/stephen.johannes/blog/2005/08/18/external-data-loads-for-crm-40-using-xif-adapter
Plus do a search on this forum for more information on using the XIF adapter.
Take care,

When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?

Hi All,
For invoking a PL/SQL API(either a custom or System API) in Oracle Applications from BPEL Process which is better to use?When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?
Thanks,
ChitraDevi

As Sen correctly states for the DB adapter you have to set the context manually using the fun_global.apps_initilize or Fnd_Client_Info.SET_ORG_CONTEXT. This is usually done in a wrapper procedure.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert in this field as I have only used the APPS adapter for 11.5.10. I believe things have changed a bit for R12, but from my experience with APPS, things change very slow so although R12 is 10g App Server I'm sure the principles are the same.
Sen is also correct saying that base tables are not accessible via the APPS adapter. Basically the apps adapter is there to expose services, base tables are not services.
My recommendation would be different based on the experience of the developer(s). The APPS adapter simplifies the development but may not have the flexibility. The apps adapters sweet spot is those services that are difficult to integrate with, e.g. business services, xml gateway. If these are used heavily I would use the APPS adapter.
What I personally do, even if I'm not using APPS, if I'm connecting to the database I will implement a function, stored procedure, or AQ. It is a little more hassle during deployment, but it treats it more like a service and you are not impacted if the tables change. This is not an endorsement for you to go down this path because it does have a requirement to have PL/SQL knowledge, and it breaks the notion of service abstraction from the DB.

Mapping XML into 3rd party system using XIF adapter

Hi Gurus,
First of all let me thank all of you for a tremondous contribution you are making for these kind of topics(CRM XIF) in SDN. I could solve half my problems by looking into your replies.
But I have a new & similar problem now. I am able to create and send XML file of order data into 3rd party middleware system using XIF & SOAP framework. But the 3rd party system(business connector) is unable to parse this XML file in their system. They keep getting the error message invalid XML file. I tried testing that myself and it gives me the error 'SOAP-ENV' error. They even tried some workarounds using some SOAP wrappers but it still didn't work. They are asking me to provide a DTD (data type definition) to this XML file generated out of SAP. Not sure if anyone has seen a similar problem like this but our interface is stuck at this point.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Sunil

Hi,
We have figured out this problem for ourselves. The 3rd party system gets this error because SAP generated 2 XML tags in the beginning of the XML file which cannot be interpreted by XML spy or many XML parsing softwares. When we deleted the first 2 tags we stopped getting that error. But it wasn't a feasible solution for us to delete the first 2 lines in the XML file and then save it and then parse it. We preferred an alternative approach via IDOC's instead of processing XML files directly. Its also better because the size of XML file is much bigger (15 mega) than Idoc ( max of 4 mega bytes). But if you have to process XML files only then you cannot do that for real time or near real time processing as the parsing of XML file nearly takes more than 10 min. And it is definitely not preferred way especially if your middleware system has the capability to process Idocs from a middleware architectural stand point.

Customer Master Data interface to external using Seeburger on MDMP

Hi Experts,
   Currently, customer master data is interfaced to external system via IDOC. The middleware used is Seeburger.
   If the system is changed to MDMP, would there be any impact to this interface?
   Is Seeburger communicates in Unicode? If so, when the data is translated to Unicode when the data from R/3 is non-unicode?
   Thank you.

Bing Fatt

Thanks Uwe,

How to get the incoming file name using JMS adapter and SOAP adapter

Hi Everybody,
   In one of my interface i need to get the file name of incoming flat file using JMS adapter at sender side. and then i am using xslt to convert it to IDOC and then posting to SAP IDOC.
my incoming filname are in this form price<DateTimestamp>.txt. when i do the tranformation this incoming file name should be part of one element in the IDOC which i am posting.
EX:
<IDOC
<REF>price<DateTimestamp>.txt</REF>
</IDOC>
Hope it is clear to everybody. I need your suggestion how i can capture this incoming file name and send it as part of IDOC.
Thanks
raj

If they are passing it in message id or correlation id,
you can access it using
<xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/JMS', 'DCJMSMessageID/ DCJMSCorrelationID')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />

How to operate multiple querys using DB Adapter and 'Execute Custom SQL'

I have a requirment that I need to create database adapter in your BPEL process with 'Execute Custom SQL' to operate multiple query in DB in one atomic
here are the details:
inbound request:
<ns1:Query_bpelProcessRequest>
<ns1:input>
<ns1:ItemDetail>
<ns1:ItemID>1123DDDS</ns1:ItemID>
</ns1:ItemDetail>
<ns1:ItemDetail>
<ns1:ItemID>1126EWWA</ns1:ItemID>
</ns1:ItemDetail>
<ns1:ItemDetail>
<ns1:ItemID>11208FSAA</ns1:ItemID>
</ns1:ItemDetail>
</ns1:input>
</ns1:Query_bpelProcessRequest>
I use for-each fuction in XSLT to mapping the all ItemID value:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/tns:Query_bpelProcessRequest/tns:input/tns:ItemDetail">
<ns1:QueryFromDB_Input>
<ns1:ItemID>
<xsl:value-of select="tns:ItemID"/>
</ns1:ItemID>
</ns1:QueryFromDB_Input>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
and in DB Adapter I use the 'Execute Custom SQL' to query the CONTENT value according the ItemID value:
select distinct CONTENT from agile.item where ITEM_NUMBER=’<ItemID>’
However, in the result, It only query the first item value for <ns1:ItemID>1123DDDS</ns1:ItemID>
<<QueryFromDB_InputVariable><part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="QueryFromDB_Input_msg">
<QueryFromDB_Input xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/QueryFromDB" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/QueryFromDB">
<ns1:ItemID>1123DDDS</ns1:ItemID>
</QueryFromDB_Input>
</part></QueryFromDB_InputVariable>
<QueryFromDB_OutputVariable><part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="QueryFromDB_OutputCollection">

<ITEM_NUMBER>1123DDDS</ITEM_NUMBER>
<CONTENT >SJIFESSFFJ</CONTENT >
</QueryFromDB_Output>
</QueryFromDB_OutputCollection>
</part></QueryFromDB_OutputVariable>
the other two querys are not operated.
what can I do to operate multiple querys??
Thanks

Hi Rod,
I are using while loop and assign array inputvalue to the inputvarable of DBadapter now, but actually it doesn't work.
Throw expection
<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/"><part name="summary"><summary>XPath query string returns multiple nodes.
According to BPEL4WS spec 1.1 section 14.3, The assign activity part and query /client:ItemsQuery_bpelProcessRequest/client:input/client:inputDetail/client:ProductID["ItemIndex"] should not return multipe nodes.
Please check the BPEL source at line number "89" and verify the part and xpath query /client:ItemsQuery_bpelProcessRequest/client:input/client:inputDetail/client:ProductID["ItemIndex"].
Possible reasons behind this problems are: some xml elements has maxOccurs > 1 or the xml data is invalid according to XML Schema.

I use {} instead of [] for array, because [] seams not reveal in this message board
seems I can't assign array values to the DB inputvalue, Are there any solutions for this ?
I still haven't found any way for operating multiple querys using DB Adapter.

Using SoapProxy adapter and AMF channel - deserialization issue

Hi, I am wondering if it's possible to reasonably communicate with SOAP based web service and use BlazeDS (SoapProxy adapter) as man in the middle. I get inspired from the test drive samples from BlazeDS so I use AMF to communicate with BlazeDS (AMFChannel) which consequently communicates with SOAP service. Everything works fine except the fact the type of custom classes is not preserved when response is received on the client. I have correctly registered aliasses of particular classes by flash.net.registerClassAlias(). How I can set BlazeDS to serialize SOAP responses from soap endpoint to amf message and set correct class type?

Migrate using Thunderbolt adapter and Ethernet cable?

Hello
I need to Migrate data from a 2009 MacBook Pro to a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina.
Can I use an 'Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter' plus an Ethernet cable to do this?
(the 2009 MBP has an Ethernet port, but the 2014 MBPR doesn't)
Or, will the Apple Thunderbolt cable alone work to connect from the Firewire 800 port on the 2009 MBP to the Thunderbolt 2 port on the 2014 MBPR?
Thanks!

One more thing: can I use the USB ports on both devices?

Hi Thierry,
thank you for that suggestion.

Export Marketing Attributes of Business Partners using XIF XML Interface

Hello CRM Fellows,
I've successfully configured the XIF Adapter to send out SOAP Requests to my external server. The Documents [Distributing Business Partner Master Data from SAP CRM to an External System using the CRM XIF Adapter|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/406efa7e-388a-2910-f9b8-81913b0ca57f] and [SAP Network Blog: External Data Loads for CRM 4.0 using XIF adapter|The specified item was not found.] where very helpful there.
We have the requirement to not only send the Business Partner and Relationship Master-Data to the external system. We also have to provide Marketing Attributes. But here I stuck in a problem. The BAdI CRMXIF_PARTNER_MAP is not triggered when I maintain only a Marketing Attribute via Transaction BP. I've searched if there is a XIF Object for Attributes but that is not available.
Does anyone know how to send Marketing Attributes to an external system when they are changed?
Best regards
Gregor
